Helping businesses to reduce residual waste, save money and improve environmental performance with the UK's only on-site aerobic system.

28/08/2026

Landfill capacity is tightening. EfW capacity is under pressure. And waste operators across the UK are facing fewer options for residual waste.

Recent reports of landfill sites reaching capacity in the North of England have reportedly removed at least one million tonnes of capacity from the market. In Scotland, waste handlers are facing their own capacity pressures, with both landfill and EfW routes under strain.

But this isn't simply a question of building more capacity.

It's about making better use of the capacity we already have, and creating more flexibility in what happens to residual waste.

Reducing mass. Stabilising organic material. Separating recoverable fractions. Preparing waste for more appropriate downstream routes.

When capacity is constrained, changing the material itself can create more options.

We've explored what the current capacity crisis means for the UK's waste infrastructure, and why a more resilient approach to residual waste is needed.

Ready to rethink plastic waste?

Not all plastic waste is created equal, and not all of it needs to end up in landfill.

Advetec is exploring new ways to treat contaminated and hard-to-recycle plastic waste, helping recover materials that would otherwise have limited options for recovery.

By stabilising the organic content within mixed waste streams, our biotechnology can help unlock higher-value recovery pathways, reduce reliance on landfill and support a more circular approach to waste management.

Because better outcomes for difficult waste start with rethinking what’s possible.

Too much of the conversation around decarbonisation focuses on the easy wins. But some of the biggest emissions challenges still come from waste streams that are considered too difficult, too contaminated or too costly to process effectively.

That's where biotechnology can make a measurable difference.

By stabilising organic-rich residual waste before disposal or recovery, biotechnology can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower reliance on landfill, and create cleaner feedstocks for recycling, recovery or alternative fuel pathways.

Real progress towards net zero will depend on tackling the waste streams others overlook – with solutions backed by science, operational data and measurable outcomes.

It's time to accelerate decarbonisation with biotechnology.

Illegal waste sites continue to make headlines across the UK, with major incidents uncovered in Cheshire, Kent and Oxfordshire in the last year alone.

While stronger enforcement is essential, tackling waste crime requires more than policing alone.

In our latest blog, we explore why the waste sector needs to look beyond enforcement and address the wider pressures facing the industry, from rising disposal costs and tightening legislation to the need for greater legitimate waste processing capacity.

It's a perspective on waste crime that focuses not just on the symptoms, but on strengthening the system behind them.

Sustainability is usually talked about in big targets, but the real value shows up in small, everyday decisions.

The shift happens when sustainability stops being a separate goal and becomes part of how operational choices get made:

♻️ How waste is sorted, treated, and moved
♻️ Where resources are being used inefficiently
♻️ Whether processes can be measured, not just promised

When it's built into business, sustainability stops competing with performance and starts supporting it. It’s vital to take a holistic view of emissions, too, by considering supply chain emissions and transport.

We work with businesses that want progress they can actually measure, not just report on.

Reducing single-use plastics is vital to the world’s future because it tackles waste at source, cutting long-lasting pollution that overwhelms ecosystems, infrastructure and recycling systems.

But while reduction at source is essential, it is only part of the picture. There is still a significant volume of plastic in hard to handle waste streams that cannot be recycled in the conventional way.

Materials such as nappies, sanitary products and contaminated washroom waste have historically been sent to landfill or energy-from-waste because conventional recycling processes are unable to manage them effectively.

Through our work with Go4Greener in Derby, biotechnology is already helping to address this challenge. Together, we are transforming offensive washroom waste into Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), creating a practical alternative to landfill and recovering value from one of the sector’s most challenging waste streams.

Reducing plastic waste will always be essential, but building a more sustainable waste system also means developing better solutions for the materials already in circulation and those that fall outside traditional recycling routes.

What if waste could clean itself?

That's essentially the principle behind Advetec's XO technology. Instead of relying on slow natural processes, it accelerates nature through biotechnology.

The system uses a blend of naturally occurring bacteria to break down organic material in non-recyclable waste. Through an aerobic rapid digestion process, those bacteria do the heavy lifting to break down contaminants.

The result is a faster, more practical way to treat waste streams that would otherwise be difficult to handle. For businesses, this turns a stubborn operational challenge into something more manageable and measurable.

We think the most effective waste solutions aren't always the most complicated ones. Sometimes they work with nature rather than against it.

How are Europe's food-fed AD plants managing de-packaging rejects?

As anaerobic digestion continues to grow across Europe, operators are processing increasing volumes of food waste and looking for ways to maximise efficiency, improve resource recovery and manage costs.

But one challenge often receives less attention: what happens to de-packaging rejects?

Every food-fed AD plant generates a reject stream. The composition, volumes and disposal routes can vary significantly depending on feedstock, technology and local infrastructure.

Our latest blog explores why de-packaging rejects are becoming an increasingly important conversation for the AD sector.

We’d also like to hear from the industry; how is your facility managing de-packaging rejects today?

Net Zero Week provides an important opportunity to focus attention on decarbonisation and the practical changes needed across industry, particularly as organisations set increasingly ambitious climate targets.

However, as the term “net zero” becomes more widely used, there is also a growing risk that it loses meaning through vague targets, inconsistent measurement and sustainability claims that are difficult to substantiate against real operational activity.

Real environmental progress requires measurable operational change, and that includes taking a closer look at waste management, especially where hard to handle waste streams continue to rely heavily on landfill and other carbon-intensive disposal routes.

At Advetec, we work with organisations to apply biotechnology in ways that reduce waste volumes, recover value from residual materials and support more sustainable resource management through alternative fuel production.

Achieving meaningful progress towards net zero requires transparency, accountability and technologies that demonstrate tangible impact.
